Maltz Museum Will Celebrate Family Hero Day On Sunday

BEACHWOOD, OH - The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage will offer $5 general admission on Sunday as part of its Family Hero Day festivities. Children under 5 and members of the museum get free admission.

“Not every family has the same kind of traditional structure so this Father’s Day we are celebrating Family Hero Day,” said Dahlia Fisher, director of external relations for the Maltz Museum.

On Sunday, at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. there will be a screening of "A Family is a Family is a Family." The movie is a documentary made by HBO and features different kinds of people and relationships, all constituting families. There will be two screenings of the film.

During the day, museum attendees can take part in tours and various exhibits, including the Everyday Heroes Activity Center. At that exhibit, children can enjoy the following activities:

• Making your own cape and mask
• Zoom around the "Good Movement" area
• Paint kindness rocks to keep or share
• Build a better world with jumbo Legos
• Be the hero of your own story at the Puppet Theater

"We can all be everyday heroes. Anyone at any age can make a difference,” said Fisher. “We are proud to feature six young people from Ohio and beyond who express values of being an everyday hero, doing their part to help the community where they live.”
